So Jonathon of Yellow Tape sent me this video which is a promo for their next play “I Am Not Tartuffe” (get your tickets now, especially since they’re going up against SXSW. Copyright Denied went up against ACL fest. It wasn’t pretty. Show them some love):

So it’s very well done. Looks great. Nicely edited. But I’m watching this and I’m not laughing. The subject matter appears to be making fun of arty European movies. Are they saying that I’m somehow bad because I like arty European movies? Or somehow intrinsically French? Actually I like the French. I might even have some French ancestry. So um… yeah. I’m confused. Wait, isn’t France God in the play? Does that mean I’m Godlike because I like European movies? Or perhaps even God himself? I even had a friend drop out as a groomsman in my wedding because he had prior miming commitments. Part of my childhood took place in an Eastern Block country. I think I am in an arty European movie without even realizing it!

Anyway. Watch it. You’ll probably enjoy it. I on the other hand need to go add The Seventh Seal to my Netflix queue. And perhaps Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey to round out the night.
